Ambuyat Tempoyak - The National Dish Of Brunei

Ambuyat comes from within the trunk of a sago palm. It is eaten using a bamboo fork or better known as ‘chandas’ and dipped in different varieties of local sauces, such as Tempoyak sauce.
Ambuyat and its tropical sauce dip are usually served with other local dishes such as fried fish, grilled prawns, fried belutak (mixed beef), lalap (fried dried beef) and local vegetables.
Since this recipe uses region-specific ingredients such as Sago starch and Durian fruit, your best choice for creating your own authentic recipe is to visit your local Asian supermarket. Sago starch can otherwise be substituted with potato starch or tapioca.
INGREDIENTS
  • 500 g sago starch can replace with tapioca or potato starch
  • 600 ml water
  • 1 chili pepper
  • salt
  • 1 tsp shrimp paste
  • 1 tbsp dried shrimps
  • 2 tbsp durian tempoyak

  • In the meantime, mix the starch with a bit of water in a bowl and put aside.
  • Put the dried prawns and thai chili in a stone bowl (also called lasung) and blend until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Add the shrimp paste and mix until well combined. Then add some salt according to taste. Put in a small bowl.
  • Pour a little hot water on the sauce mixture and add the durian. Mix well.
  • Once the water is boiled, pour it slowly onto the starch until it looks a bit sticky then whisk with a wooden spoon until firm and starchy.

Estofado de Ternera a la Catalana - Catalan Beef Stew Recipe

This recipe for Catalan Beef Stew or "Estofado de Ternera a la Catalana" is easy and has a unique flavor, due to a surprise ingredient - chocolate! While the stew simmers, prepare a pot of white rice to accompany it.

 Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Spanish olive oil
  • 2 lbs. stew beef, cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp. flour
  • 8 oz. glass red wine
  • 4 cloves garlic, cut into halves

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups beef stock


Steps to Make It

This recipe can be made in either a large stock pot or a pressure cooker. If using a pressure cooker, cooking time will be reduced to about 30 minutes.
  1. Chop the garlic, onions, tomatoes, carrot, celery, and leak.
  2. Pour the olive oil into a large pot with a heavy bottom, or the pressure cooker.
  3. Heat the oil and add the cubed stew meat. Brown the meat for 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the flour and stir. Add the wine and stir. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the garlic, onions, tomatoes, carrot, celery and leak to the pot and stir ingredients.
  6. Cut the square of baking chocolate in half and add to the pot.
  7. Add beef stock to the pot, stir and bring to a boil.
  8. If you are using a standard pot, partially cover and lower to a simmer. Then allow to simmer for an hour to an hour and a half - or until the meat is tender.
  9. If you are using a pressure cooker, put on lid and lock. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow pressure to drop naturally. This may take 10 minutes. Remove lid and simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes to thicken the stock.

Za'atar and Yoghurt BBQ Lamb Recipe

Za'atar and yoghurt BBQ lamb is a quick and easy dish for a summer BBQ. You can buy a whole leg of lamb and cut out the bone yourself, or just ask your butcher to do it for you. The yoghurt helps to tenderise the lamb - if you have time, it is best left to marinate overnight.

Ingredients:

2kg leg of lamb, bone out and butterflied

For the marinade



300g plain yoghurt

5 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tbsp za'atar

1 tbsp salt

Juice of 1 lemon



For the sauce

150g plain yoghurt
1 tbsp harissa
1/2 tsp salt

  • To make the marinade, mix together yoghurt, garlic, za'atar, salt and lemon juice. Rub the marinade into the lamb and leave in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight. Remove from fridge 1 hour before cooking.
  • When you are ready to cook, scrape off any marinade that might fall off into the BBQ. Grill on a hot BBQ, turning regularly for 20-30 minutes until the outside is slightly charred and the middle measures between 45 C - 60 C.
